Configure OSMC

- [Voiceover] In OSMC, the settings menu gives access…to a lot of detailed options…that let you set up OSMC to fit your preferences.…In fact, Preferences…is a good way to think of the settings menu…as opposed to the deeper level hardware changes you can make…from the My OSMC menu.…From the Home screen, scroll down to the Settings menu…and hit Enter.…This will open up an entirely new menu…each option of which opens its own sub-menu.…There are a huge number of options…and I encourage you to take a look through each of them…at your leisure.…I'll point out some of the most important ones here.…

The most popular use of Raspberry Pi is for custom media servers. All you need is a Pi that has access to your entertainment system and a copy of OSMC, an open-source media center "built for the people, by the people." In these tutorials, Brad Wheeler shows how to download, install, and configure OSMC to run on Raspberry Pi and set it up to play content from local and remote sources, as well as third-party services like YouTube. He also shows how to control your media server using a USB keyboard, the Chorus web UI, or an infrared (IR) remote and an IR sensor connected to your Raspberry Pi's GPIO.

Note: These instructions work with the Raspberry Pi 1, 2, and 3 models. OSMC does not support Netflix, Hulu, or HBO Go.
